Worked my ass off through a heatwave to get this video out, but it was well worth it! youtu.be/7YJ-YTKpjAs

Indie games suffered knock-on effects from the behavior of “AAA” executives. Things don’t happen in self-contained bubbles. From consuming studios to driving up costs to squeezing small companies out, many things have made game development less viable at all levels. The industry was hijacked.

I fucking love video games. I love video game developers. I love video game artists. I love video game programmers. I love video game animators. I love Video game audio technicians. I love video game QA testers. I love video game designers. I fucking hate the video games industry.

incredible of playstation to announce the end of physical disc production the week after they deleted all the movies you bought digitally from your account

Man. I fucking hate this so much. I buy all my console games on physical media, because I like actually owning the game. Physical media is so important for preservation, and it's sad that executives simply don't care about the art form they've burnt down for profit.

LOUDER

Godot’s new AI policy is here. the TL;DR: all code must human authored.

Ryan Creamer, famous for posting wholesome videos on Pornhub with erotic titles, being on the official Pokémon game show gives me some confidence that my sex work won't bite me in the ass at any point.

This is epic games ceo tim sweeney objecting to steam making people tag their games if they used ai to make them. It’s weird how much work people do to treat people having preferences as fucked up or harmful

The UK heatwave means I have to take a break from editing every few hours, just to let my home office cool down. The fact I've also been using some 3D elements in the video also isn't helping keep things cool. Next video should still be out next week, but probably in the latter half.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Microsoft blaming the rising costs of computer components after spending $146 billion dollars on AI investments

The Sony Playstation.

yeah the steam machine is expensive, but the good news is everyone is making so much more money thanks to our AI-enhanced productivity

is this anything #Xenoblade

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

The Gamers have arrived

Its just this meme over and over again. STOP BUYING STUDIOS TO CLOSE THEM

I want to see Microsoft itself collapse while the studios it essentially holds at gunpoint are able to get away (relatively) unscathed. I would rather have a games industry with Double Fine, Ninja Theory and Compulsion in it than ever see an Xbox again

Trying to incorporate some more of my 3D skills into my videos. Next one will be a little longer, as the research needed has used a wider number of sources, but I reckon it'll be a damn good'n!

i created this meme like 4 years ago on twitter and it went super viral and i think i got like 20 death threats. that's how you know i was cooking with this one

Anyway, if you're interested in Xenoblade, for whatever reason, here's a short, relatively spoiler-free, video I made going over one of the best aspects of the first game. youtu.be/WTy07r3Tcbo

I can't wait to find out which of these women in Xenoblade Genesis have multiple personalities.

The fuck do they mean "used it as a reference"? It's Crazy Taxi. Your reference is going outside. Look at billboards, shops, cars, etc. The team could have gotten all the references they needed from just walking around for a day. It's an awful and pathetic attempt of an excuse.

I really hope they announce a new Crazy Taxi during today's Nintendo Direct

Anyway if you think that Summer Game Fest sucked, then here's a video that partially explains why!

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

using ai slop to make shit for you more like lazy taxi lmao

nice of Sega to pre-emptively kill the new Crazy Taxi before it even launches i hope bad things happen to every motherfucker who keeps pushing for genAI shit in videogames. what a colossal fucking waste of everyone's time.

Chat, you will not believe how hard I screamed

I suppose I should get around to playing FFVII Rebirth at some point soon

Anyway if you think that Summer Game Fest sucked, then here's a video that partially explains why!

They're putting Tupac in a Yakuza game with "Snoop Dogg's blessing." Snoop Dogg shills for anything. He would dig up Tupac's bones and shoot them out of a cannon into the sea if it meant a paycheck.

Also, RGG using Tupac's likeness feels... weird. In such an uncomfortable way. I love the Yakuza series, but RGG are making some fucking awful choices in recent years.

Man, this Summer Game Fest really made the games industry look incredibly homogenous. There were some good gems, but god so many games there looked almost indistinguishable from each other.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation will launch simultaneously on all platforms can't wait to buy it on Ouya

Istg if Tupac's voice is AI generated, I'm gonna be fucking livid

Realised I had all the ingredients to make banana bread, except for eggs. And that's the story of how I bought eggs.

E3 has come and gone, seen by many as having been replaced by Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest. But Is Geoff really the one who killed it? If only there was an 18 minute video to help us find out! youtu.be/vfm9ybVLOAY

Oh. Would have liked to have played that. Oh well, lots of other games are coming out that don't steal from other creators and harm the planet.

Happy Pride month, from VGAPride and my 60mhz Pentium running MS-DOS.

Also, whilst I'm still on my high-horse I've seen people using the R-slur a lot more over the past year and y'all need to stop. The "scientific definition" excuse doesn't work, because scientists haven't used it in years. You also aren't "reclaiming" the slur if you still use it as an insult.

I know I'm going to see Pride stuff made using AI so as a reminder... AI is inherently Anti-LGBTQ. It's created and pushed by billionaires to automate misinformation, steals from queer people, and data centres continue to directly harm several marginalised communities. Do not use it. Ever.

Happy 6 years of Xenoblade DE I love this game so much. I released a short lil video last week about one of the main reasons why. Like seriously, the world design is one of the coolest things I've ever seen a video game do.

Guys, I like Xenoblade.
